But let's explore some ways we can understand blood sugar readings in the morning and how we can gain better control. One of the most common causes of high morning blood sugars is excess glucose production from the liver. Our bodies were built with some internal mechanisms for creating balance.
Silicon: Symbol: Si Atomic Number: 14: Atomic Mass: 28.086 atomic mass units Number of Protons: 14: Number of Neutrons: 14: Number of Electrons: 14: Melting Point: 1410.0Â° C: Boiling Point: 2355.0Â° C: Density: 2.329 grams per cubic centimeter: Normal Phase: Solid: Family: Metalloids: Period: 3: Cost: $50 per pound
The number on the lower left of the symbol is the atomic number (or the number of protons). You will also notice that all of these have the same atomic number because they are all carbon atoms. The top number equals the number of protons plus the number of neutrons. This is called the mass number. So on the first one, the mass number is 12 indicating that the total number of protons and neutrons is 12.
